Tyler & Victoria
Wedding Party
Carissa Vega
Maid of Honor
What are the odds that the bride's best friend has known the groom since middle school? Not likely, but that is the case with Carissa. Living within five minutes of both of us, we have had countless sleepovers, parties, movie nights, vacations, and more. She is the true epitome of "a friend that turned into family". She has seen us laugh cry, and fight, and she is always there to talk some sense into us when we need it! We cannot imagine our life, or our big day, without you.
Dan Michael Panti
Best Man
A fellow ROTC cadet of Tyler's turned into a lifetime friend to both of us. Dan is always there for a laugh, a drink, and a good time! He is someone we know we can always turn to when life gets rough, and someone we know will always be there for us through the years to come. Whether it is relationship advice, school advice, military talk, or just venting, a call to Dan is one that is always cherished! We know that our future is better as long as we have the jokes and advice from this guy!
Celeste Honrado
Bridesmaid
Celeste is a true form of a lifelong, trustworthy friend! She is there when times are tough and when times are great. Meeting Tyler back in 2018 and then Victoria in 2020, both knew that she was someone they wanted in their lives for the long run. She is kind, patient, and never afraid to tell us how it is. We cannot imagine our life or wedding without her, and know she will be around for a very, very long time!
Damien Okada
Groomsman
Tyler met Damien in the fall of 2018 and can honestly say that Damien has been one of the closest friends he's made since joining the ROTC program. He is one of the funniest guys you can meet and will always manage to put a smile on your face no matter what you're going through. We're seriously honored to have him be a part of our big day!
Julia Vasquez
Bridesmaid
Julie has been in Victoria's life for over 15 years, and has been there through countless ups and downs. Through traveling, sleepovers, church events, mission trips, and more, those two have stuck together through life. Julie also has worked with Tyler inside and outside of church and created a friendship that we know will last a lifetime. Both are thankful to have someone like Julie in our lives and our as a part of our special day.
Andrew Estrada
Groomsman
Andrew and Tyler have been very close friends since the Fall of 2018. Tyler and Andrew both shared a passion for basketball and football (even though Tyler has always beaten him in both sports). As freshmen in college, we would always play basketball after PT against mainly the Juniors and Seniors. Time spent with this guy absolutely flies by, I can't believe we're both graduating and commissioning this year. Happy to call this man a true friend for many years to come.
Julianna Torres
Junior Bridesmaid
Julianna, "Nana" as we call her, is the closest thing Tyler or Victoria will ever have to have a younger sister. Her sassiness and beautiful eyes light up any room, and they both have so many memories with her over the years. She brings so much happiness to both of their lives and has for the last four years. Whether it be at church, at school, at home, or on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, she always makes the bride and groom laugh until they are in tears. They love her beyond words and could not imagine their lives or this special day without her up here by their side!
Luke Lopez
Junior Groomsman
Luke is one of the craziest 16 year olds you will ever meet. Even though he can drive us crazy beyond belief at times we love him to death and were happy to have him as a part of our special day. As Victoria's younger brother and the closest thing Tyler will ever have to a younger sibling, neither can imagine a life without him. Whether it be playing video games with Tyler or watching movies and playing games with Victoria at home, we know we are beyond blessed to have him.
Rubiann Alvarado
Flower Girl
"Family friend". Definitely more family than friend. This little girl has captured both of our hearts and even though it took some bribing and begging to get her to be a part of our wedding, we couldn't be happier that she is. We look forward to the smiles she has whenever we see her, the way she loves Jesus so much at such a young age, and all the joy she brings to those around her. She is going to do huge things in this life, and we are honored to have her as part of our big day.
Nicholas Torres
Ring Bearer
This little guy means the world to us. Victoria has known him since he was born and is currently his 3rd grade teacher. From going swimming, to taking him around with us to run errands, to cruising through foreign countries, he's always happy to tag along with us. We have spent countless hours with this little boy and we just know he is going to do great things when he grows up!
Bolt
Honorary Ring Bearer
This little guy is our pride and joy. No matter the chaos going on in our life, we can always count on him to be smiling and ready to give kisses and love to both of us every day. He was the first big decision we made and we couldn't imagine living this new chapter of our lives without him!
